How to filter files (showed in subfolders) by type and name?

Post by cadu »

Hi,

I would appreciate help:

I'm using the option "show files in subfolder" in order to visualize contend (XnView 0.81).

The issue is that I have files with same name and different extensions. For instance:
arrow1.psd
arrow1.png
arrow2.psd
arrow2.png
line1.psd
line1.png

How to filter XnView in order to show just files with extention "psd" and "arrow" in name?
It should return just:
arrow1.psd
arrow2.psd

step1-My first thought was to use the "filter by" functionality in order to keep just the .psd files, but I couldn't see how to perform it.
step2-Then, by using the "quick search", I would type "arrow" and XnView should show the files I need. But since I couldn't filter just the .psd files first (step1), when I type arrow both .png and .psd files are showed.

Thanks,
Carlos_

As a workaround, you could use wildcards (Filename: a*.psd) in Tools » Search... (Ctrl+F) and activate Recurse through subfolders.
